St Vincent & the Grenadines vs USA Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

This clearly should be a huge mismatch with tiny St Vincent & the Grenadines punching well above their weight already by reaching this stage of the competitions. They have lost all 4 matches conceding 3 or more goals on each occasion and have already been eliminated. They have conceded 6 goals in their two away games and have lost all of their last 6 matches in all competitions.

However, there are at least a couple of reasons why USA should not take this game for granted. Firstly St Vincent & the Grenadines actually took the lead when the sides last met in St Louis and secondly they made group leaders Trinidad & Tobago work very hard for a 3-2 win when they visited Kingstown in March.

USA are getting back to World Cup qualifying action having hosted Copa America in the summer. They got on pretty well in the competition reaching the Semi Finals where they were outclassed by Argentina 4-0. It would be a major shock were USA not to make the final stage of qualifying in the CONCACAF region or indeed the World Cup itself but they still have plenty of work to do in this group. They are currently in 2nd place, 3 points behind Trinidad & Tobago and only 1 clear of Guatemala in the race for the 2nd automatic slot.

It’s very hard to see them not winning this game but it is likely to be much closer than they might like. St Vincent & the Grenadines will be up for this match, which is one of the biggest ever to have taken place on the island. USA are without the inspirational Clint Dempsey, who has often carried the side through times of trouble and it’s not a squad packed with proven international attacking quality. They are unlikely to run riot here and backing St Vincent & the Grenadines +3.5 Asian Handicap at 1.900 looks to offer some value.
